Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for āactive reviewā of such cases, experts say Leoās citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the RussiaāUkraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Popeās willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraineās persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscowās draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.

Five House Republicans broke ranks as Trumpās key bill passed by just one vote, exposing deep GOP fractures. Thomas Massie opposed it for preserving Biden-era spending, while others like Warren Davidson warned of a $451B deficit spike. Trump called for Massieās ouster after his defiance. Two GOP members, including Garbarino, missed the voteāone allegedly fell asleep. The Freedom Caucusā Andy Harris voted āpresent,ā showing growing frustration. With the GOP split on fiscal policy, party unity is under fire, and Trump allies are demanding accountability.

President Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill has passed the House with a razor-thin 215ā214 vote, despite opposition from all Democrats and two Republicans. The 1,000-page bill advances Trumpās 2017 tax cut agenda, expands deportation powers, boosts military spending, and slashes green energy incentives. Critics warn the bill could add $3.8 trillion to the national debt, already at a historic $36.2 trillion. Fiscal watchdogs and credit agencies are raising red flags, and with the Senate up next, the battle over the billās cost is far from over.
